IMPETUS Accelerator Programme

The challenges or topics of this year’s Accelerator are “Sustainable Lifestyles”, “Justice and Equity” and “Citizen Science with and for Communities“. This means that your project should address and relate to these topics.

It has two grants:

• Kickstarting grants: If you start a project, successful applicants will receive €20,000, mentoring and training support to help start your initiative for a period of six months.
• Sustaining grants: If you are an ongoing project, successful applicants will receive €10,000, mentoring and training support for a period of six months.

This is a great chance if you are:

• thinking of starting a new citizen science project;
• an ongoing citizen science project looking for support, financial and otherwise, to grow and become sustainable;
• a researcher or a research team seeking to resource a new citizen science project;
• an organisation in public, private and third sectors exploring the use of citizen science in their work.

Who can apply?

• Individuals, legal entities, and consortia established in a country or territory eligible to receive Horizon Europe grants are eligible to apply.
• EU Member States or third countries in Europe that are associated or negotiating an association agreement with Horizon Europe.
